Wonderful!

What freaking ever. You know, if you take any of these turntables and plate them all with real gold, you can probably make them even more expensive.......What comes to my mind is Steve Martin's "Googlephonics" routine from the album "Comedy is not Pretty".

All I see is snake oil, why would you spend over $100,000 on a turntable? I have a revox b790
turntable that can smoke all these overpriced snake oil turntables. Ridiculous!
-
its terrible price! for what!!!!!! ridiculous a little bit you know!!!!
-
I wonder how many each of these models have been sold? 1 or none?

@itsmegp46 funny how fickle hifi magazine reviews are perhaps they are profit driven!!!
your deck stopped working, well that kind of answers my question, I still regularly use decks made in the 50's and 60's but they were expensive then and are properly serviced to sound good with quality cartridge, arm and phono stage, they still sound better than the best cd players that I have heard. but granted they can't be used in cars but you don't need vinyl quality over wind road and engine

From my very first sampling, I was sold. Not only me, but from vitually every audio magazine I read at the time, the consensus was, vinyl is dead. The vinyl collection is for the most part, stored away in my basement after the turntable stopped working about 10 years ago. As for how much I've spent, hard to say. I've got my current set up purchased maybe 15 years ago. But all the cars I've owned, since 1985, 6 I think, all had cd players. Some were standard some optional.

spend on cd players compared to your existing record player, arm, cartridge and phono stage to be so instantly sold on cd

@itsmegp46 I have had vinyl approx 2 years less than you in that case, hifi as a hobby nearly as long, I have worked in various branches of the audio industry am an engineer and physicist also a musician for fun. after listening to hundreds of set ups, I am in no doubt that vinyl can sound superior to cd, the dvd format you mention has the higher sample rate That I said makes digital music more difficult to beat with analogue, cd is definitely more convenient but how much did you

@die101 The answer is hardly anyone. Only the truly anal retentive so called audiophile would if he had the cash. I might check out Craig's List to see what the going price is for a used set up.
But the best turntables would be the Technics SL1200's woot : )
